Session Facade
The book has now been published and the content of this chapter has likely changed substanstially.Hide the details of how a service is implemented behind an interface.
Use a session bean as a facade to encapsulate the complexity of interactions between the business objects participating in a workflow. The Session Facade manages the business objects, and provides a uniform coarse-grained service access layer to clients.
